I got a lot of stuff done on Saturday and Sunday: Dishes, a lot of Quicken catch-up, took out recycling - all of it! - ran errands, and did more feng shui stuff to help shift things along. I also recycled 14 receipts after doing the Quicken stuff, and two notes and a post-it.
On Monday, I shredded 65 pages, and maybe deleted some emails but I don't remember how many. I also got an extension on that real estate program I'm trying out. Finally, I went through every old newspaper I had, pulled out articles I wanted to keep, and recycled them. There were 43 and some dated back to March. I had scary visions of turning into one of those people whose houses have tunnels made of newspapers - NEVER AGAIN! I didn't even do all the puzzles, just a couple and pulled out two more to do on the train and chucked them!
On Tuesday I worked all day - good for the bank account! By the end of the day, though, I was totally exhausted. I got dishes done that night and that was all I could deal with.
Wednesday was another jam-packed work day. I did delete 9 emails in the morning.
Today, Thursday, I took out the garbage, shredded 23 papers, and recycled three brochures. And I paid a bill and recycled the envelope and insert.
Results: I made a lot of money this week. Still finding change every day - it's been 17 days in a row now! All my bills are going to be paid on time, which feels really good since a week ago I was kinda wondering how I was gonna do it.
I got a knitting video at the library and am super excited to spend some time making some things! Bought a couple new circular needles in sizes I didn't have and so I'm ready to experiment with hats and sweaters and stuff.
I got a couple of organic herb plants on sale this week - also got a great sale on organic pastured butter, plus I had a bunch of coupons so I got this awesome stuff for $4 a pound, which never happens! I got most of my food on sale this week, pretty great.
This morning I found out that my energy business is coming to a nearby state where I actually know people, so that means income from that in the near future!
Also today before work I made a payment arrangement for my electric bill in the event that I didn't get paid today (but I did), so my electricity will not be shut off next week.
And now, the coup de grace. After all this work with Peak Potentials stuff, and feng shui stuff with Deborah Kagan, and noticing that I'm finding way more change and seeing that as the beginning of the torrent of money, I got home tonight to a message from someone I worked for YEARS ago, whose company needs my skills TODAY. RIGHT NOW! I could probably start tomorrow - it sounded that urgent. I called back and she's in a meeting so I'm just hanging out till she calls me back so I can see what's up, but basically, this is IT! I've been focusing my energy on prosperity, and the trickle is about to become a stream again! SO EXCITED! Thank you Universe!

I Don't Think I've Ever Gone This Long...
Two weeks since the hurricane, and I have been so busy! Recreating my declutters will not be easy - I'll have to lump them together.
I recycled 11 post-its and nine notes. I shredded in the neighborhood of 120 pages, finishing off a folder of shreddables. And I deleted in the neighborhood of 157 emails. I've kept up with the catbox and swished the toilet, and did laundry on Labor Day. And the past two or three days I've been catching up on Quicken input. I've paid six or seven bills and recycled the envelopes, and have recycled a few other envelopes from statements that needed to be filed. Finally, I've done some filing, I've done LOTS AND LOTS of EFT, and I balanced my checkbook today.
Results: Work, work, work! It's been non-stop for two weeks. Last week it was a transcription job every other day, and this week it was work every single day. I had an unexpected couple of hours free on Thursday afternoon, and used it to do some work on my real estate investing tasks. I had a lot of anxiety over that and spent an hour or more tapping about it.
I'm also on a streak for finding change on the street. Seems like all I have to do is wonder where I'll find a penny today, or whether it will be a dime, and in a couple minutes there's my penny - or two, or three! I've found money every day for I think 12 days now. I'm doing the Harv Eker 90-day program for after his Millionaire Mind Intensive, and I found myself acknowledging today that my increase in attracting change will eventually become an increase in larger amounts as well. It's happening incrementally, but I'm not discounting the pennies and dimes. They are the beginning and when the big bucks start coming in it'll be a torrent. :) I've already had a couple of instances of this - got a coupon in the mail the other day for 20% off at Staples, which is good timing as I need to buy ink, and the funny thing is I was thinking "Maybe there'll be money in the mail today." So I thought, yeah, there was! The second instance was a large purchase needed for one of my rental units, with me wondering how to pay for it, and my tenant agreed to buy it and pay no rent next month.
Just more evidence for me that the universe always provides money when I need it - one way or another.
The constant work has been a drain on my energy, but since I do need to make money right now I'm very happy to have it. I still haven't figured out how to balance my life when I'm working a lot. Hopefully as I continue with feng shui (going to do a bit of cleanup tomorrow) this will change.
I've had some nice times with my sweetie, and today I had a good time going to see a friend sing at a festival on the river a few train stops away. It was a lovely day, perfect for an outdoor concert, and the music was great! We hung out for a while afterward too - oh, and I won a prize at a booth right before the concert started! It was just the mini-vacation I needed today - and part of my 90-day program is to spend some money on myself every month, just doing something fun. I decided to use the money I have in my change jar this month, and start putting my change in it each day going forward.
So that's the update. A little chaotic but overall good. I'll be better about keeping up on my posts going forward.
